#1. Know Your Audience and Know your Why

Lift up your hand if you commenced a blog on a niche that was either near to your heart, or you saw profitable and started writing content.

Alright, I’m not seeing – go ahead and lift up your hand.

Grievously, this is what most bloggers do and end up quitting their blogs as they don’t notice profits even in the far future.

It is because even they have no idea why they are blogging and who should be their right readers are. Knowing about these two things are vital for their blogging success before starting their blog.

Picking a niche and writing blog posts on specific topics in the niche is not blogging.

Your blog must have a goal. It is a marketing tool that should follow with your business aims.

Randomly writing several articles won’t hit it!

So what should you do?

You must initially know your niche and your readers. You should also know yours why.

When you choose a niche, it is critical that you do your study.

You should recognize the top performers in your niche, know the best keywords (not only for Search Engine Optimization but to know what kind of content is well accepted and is required in the niche), understand the difficulties/dares/pain tips of your readers and so on.

You can start with an analytical tool like Semrush. So find out the big players and popular topics to write on. And from there start creating your blogging map also.

#2. Consistent Publishing

Writing the articles are breathing of blog. Your articles act like the life of your blog, and your blog will be gone without it.

But let me make your clear only publishing the blog posts when you are in a good mood or when you have the time is not the right way.

It is about being regular. I just said consistently. But you are open to taking your publishing frequency.

It can be three posts in a week or once a week. Whatsoever it is, but make sure you do it consistently.

You have seemingly witnessed of this lesson numbers of times.

Whenever you read an article that reveals you to write persistently, you get motivated and decide to blog consistently.

But after some days the passion fades. You get back to your random publishing schedule, right?

So how can you achieve this tip?

Here, I admit two tips to be essential, and that matter the most.

1. You have to build an editorial calendar that you’d use for your blog.

2. Use content idea bank to avoid the terrifying state of gazing at the blank screen. Even if you are not willing to write, content idea bank will motivate you to write.

“On average, 8 out of 10 people will read headline copy, but only 2 out of 10 will read the rest.”

Exceptional headlines need to seize attention. That means you should:

Use numbers where possible – “7 SEO Tips” is more compelling than “SEO Tips” as it makes a definite commitment.

Use adjectives to add interest – “7 Easy SEO Tips.” Words like easy, simple, fast, etc. attract to our hope for on-the-spot wins. You can also use words like powerful, secret, magical, etc.

#4. Build Relationships

One of the most significant thing affecting your online authority is either you have help from other fellow bloggers or not. Rather of viewing other blogs in your niche as rivals, see them as potential associates.

Fellow bloggers can support you by:

# Sharing or Retweeting your articles

# Giving help when you’re baffled (ask them on Facebook, Twitter or blogging-related forums if you have a problem you can’t resolve)

# Being supportive and hopeful – this can make an enormous difference when you’re having a poor blogging day

# Social networks are usually an excellent place to start fabricating a connection with peer bloggers, and mostly all bloggers will have an appearance on Twitter or Facebook. You should also reach out by giving sensible, worthy comments on their blog posts.

Make a note that some backlinks will be dangerous rather than useful for your blog. Google has crashed down on spammy links.

#6. Create Quality Content

Personalities have been saying it for times, and their sayings still stay true. Content is king.

The content that you write on your blog should be different. That means that you shouldn’t rephrase your posts elsewhere – for example, as guest posts or on article marketing sites.

Why? Because Google discourages upon “duplicate content” – the same text repeated on various websites, or even in multiple places on the same internet site.

When it comes to guest posting, big blogs will nearly always ask for your content to be fully unique and never-before-published.

Without well researched and fascinating content, your blog isn’t going to work anywhere.

Yes, the design of your blog and your marketing strategies are necessary, but they’re almost worthless if your blog doesn’t have quality content.

People may come because of your marketing efforts, but they’ll stay when you present content they want.

Most bloggers are conscious that they shouldn’t reuse other bloggers content, but just to be definite: it’s not okay to republish someone else blog post on your blog without permission, even if you credit it to them and link back to the original.

It’s better to quote a short section from their post, though, if you want to address it on your blog.

It’s imperative that you have authority to post any images you use on your blog.

Never only search Google to find a picture or design that you want – rather, use Flickr to find images that are permitted for “Creative Commons” use.

If your blog earns money, or if you plan to make money, you require finding pictures that are authorized for marketing use too. You’ll need to attach the image – this means providing a link back to the image’s creator.

Of course, you can use pictures that you’ve taken yourself, or sketches you’ve drawn. You can also purchase stock images from sites like iStockPhoto and Shutterstock.

You’ll need to spend for these images, but you don’t need to give any link to the photo’s creator.

#8. Plugins for Your Blog

Plugins enable you to append new traits to your WordPress blog. Some work behind the scenes like Akismet. Some improve the look and feel of your blog for readers like CommentLuv plugin append a link to each commenter’s most current blog post.

Most of the plugins are free. Some cost money but give great new functionalities.

Plugins do have a some of the shortcomings also. Outdated or poorly coded plugins can produce security problems to your blog, probably letting hackers get in.

Also, the extra plugins you install (however popular they are), the slower your blog will become.

For both of these purposes, it’s necessary to deactivate and remove plugins that you’re not using and to regularly update those you do use.
Some of the essential plugins for WordPress Blog are:

When it comes to have a successful blog, my favorite here is building relationships. We can write the best content, know our why and even our audience, but without networking with others, we will become stagnant.

There is nothing better than to have a person spread your content around instead of yourself. Commenting is the backbone of our blogs.

I’m not astonished your favourite is networking. And ya it works like crazy. Plus, I love the point that with networking you don’t work with bots or strange codes or algorithms to make your site work – you deal with real people.

This is a great blog post. I’ve always tried to write long, engaging content by doing my research, adding lots of images and embedded YouTube videos, adding social sharing buttons, promoting my content on social networks. I still need to master building really good backlinks to my content though! So, thanks Successful Blogging for the wonderful tips and advice on blogging success! I appreciate it.
